Strictly Come Dancing winner Stacey Dooley has shut down any suggestion that she and Giovanni Pernice are 'friends'.
BBC bosses conducting an investigation into allegations of serious workplace misconduct against Strictly Come Dancing 's Giovanni Pernice have reportedly been told he sent a former celebrity dance partner an offensive video clip.
The BBC 's team are said to have been informed last week Giovanni, 33, sent the clip via WhatsApp before one of the series' Saturday live shows The BBC are currently believed to be scouring through nine years of Strictly footage to confirm or deny claims from three celebrities. However, it is understood Gio's transcripts will prove that one partner apologised for their 'difficult behaviour'.
Presenter Laura Whitmore is also said to have discussed her experience with Pernice with Amanda Abbington It is also claimed BBC bosses are looking at their handling of the duty of care for stars on the show. Former EastEnders star, deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, did have an interpreter with her during her time on Strictly before she and Gio won the competition with Gio in 2021. Rose has not made any complaints about Giovanni.When the allegations came to light, Giovanni said: 'I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name'
Sources close to some of the Strictly professionals say they are ‘deeply worried’ they could also face accusations from their celebrity partners if they face difficulties in such gruelling environments. The source added that wellbeing counsellors do visit training sessions ‘every now and again’ but stressed that the celebrities have already signed up by then. They added: ‘The pros’ reputations are at huge risk if they end up with someone who can’t cope with the pressure.
While none of the women have spoken out publicly, Ms Abbington leaked to a newspaper that the Italian dancer left her with a bruised foot during a training session last year.In a statement, the firm said: ‘Schillings is engaging with BBC studios to provide it with Giovanni’s evidence being made about him and confirm that Giovanni is fully cooperating with that process.
'He has faith in the process and is fully participating, that is the right and proper forum for the all allegations to be made and reviewed.
